The Rocky Seto saga continues, and Facebook is involved

Just about the only positive to come out of Rocky Seto’s reported dance with UCLA the past week is that it didn’t involve an online spat with Antonio Cromartie.

But it did involve a social networking site. As Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News reports on his InsideUSC blog, Seto allegedly posted a Facebook update saying he had accepted the defensive coordinator job at UCLA before the hire was made official.

That made the folks at UCLA rather upset, Wolf writes, and resulted in the school rescinding its offer. Seto reportedly was offered and accepted the job on Tuesday, reportedly confirmed the news in a text message to the Daily Trojan, then had the offer yanked the next day, according to Chris Foster of the Los Angeles Times.

According to a source, Seto’s alleged Facebook foible also upset UCLA fans, Wolf writes, likely because Seto spent 10 seasons as an assistant under Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at arch-rival USC. He came with Carroll to Seattle last season as a defensive quality control coach.
